What Does AEAP Mean?

AEAP means "As Early As Possible". Use of the abbreviation AEAP indicates that the sender wishes something to be done without delay.

Of note, AEAP can be considered an alternative to the more well-known abbreviation ASAP ("As Soon As Possible"), the use of which is now considered by many people to be very clichéd. The abbreviation AQAP ("As Quickly As Possible") is another way of saying the same thing.

An Academic Look at AEAP

AEAP is an adverb of time. An adverb of time modifies a verb to describe when the verb occurs. For example:

"I will arrive AEAP."

(Here, AEAP modifies the verb to arrive.)

Of note, AEAP is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Aay Ee Aay Pee), but as this is harder to say than "As early as possible," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation AEAP is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.

Before the digital era, we might have just said "As Early As Possible" instead of using the abbreviation AEAP.
